Inspiration

Some of you know of a rather silly card game I have called Inspiration, where one person reads out the answer to a (factual) question, the others secretly write down possible questions that could give that answer, they're all shuffled up together and then everyone votes on which they think is the "correct" one. You keep score using cards with pictures of the nine Muses on them, for no very apparent reason. You get a point if you guess which is the correct question, but more importantly you also get a point if someone else thinks that your suggestion is the correct one. The fun aspects are (a) bamboozling people into thinking that your suggestion is more authentic-sounding than the real one, and (b) observing how scarily similar people's minds can become once they've known each other for a while...

It struck me that this sort of thing could work well over LJ. I would think  of a question every now and then, anyone who wants to can take part as and when, and it's all handled via screened comments etc. Anyone interested in giving it a go?

Lets you use your Gmail account etc as (something like) a remote hard drive. Easier way of storing backups etc than mailing yourself huge attachments!
Has anyone used this? -- problems, praise?

Inspiration Turn 1

OK then, here's the first go at this. Let's see how it works out!

So, I've thought of a question which I'll put in a screened comment to this post. The answer to it is:

Gibbon

So your first task now is to think of a question which has that as the correct answer, and which you hope other people will think is the one that I was thinking of in the first place. Add your question in a comment (NB not anonymous), which will also be screened. The deadline is 3pm UK time tomorrow 23rd December.

(Note that quite often people come up with questions similar to the "correct" one, in which case distinguishing between them by studying the grammar, precise wording etc may come into play. So best to phrase your question as a grammatically complete query sentence, as that's what I'll be doing.)

Edit: Better make it midday rather than 3, I think, as I expect you'll all be POETS(&CE)ing this afternoon...
